Abstract

Rohit Prashar, director of Globate 360 Solutions Private Limited, a Chandigarh-based third-party logistics company with a global presence, faced a pivotal challenge on 25 August 2020. He secured a project to transport 200 consignments of crucial medical equipment for COVID testing machines to multiple locations in north-eastern states, Kashmir and Leh, India. This project was awarded by a US-based freight forwarding company authorized by The Indian Council of Medical Research. It was a prestigious achievement, hard-won through extensive negotiations during the national lockdown. However, he knew that the real battle had just begun. The stringent government restrictions during the COVID-19 lockdown added complexity. The consignments had to be transported delicately to maintain the testing equipment’s accuracy, necessitating minimal jolts. Deciding between air and road transport posed another challenge. Furthermore, he grappled with the choice between a multinational company with a premium price tag and a regional player with more budget-friendly options. Securing skilled labour was an ongoing concern. In this predicament, he sought cost-effective solutions for each shipment, strategizing to minimize costs while delivering top-notch service to his clients.

Each issue of Asian Journal of Management Cases comprises four to five original case studies. Teaching cases should be accompanied with a Teaching Note (TN).
